Kuklinski was born in a rented apartment on Third Street in Jersey City, New Jersey, to Stanley Kuklinski, a Polish emigrant from Warsaw and a brakeman on the railroad, and Anna McNally, a daughter of Catholic Irish immigrants from Dublin and later an orphan, who worked in a meat-packing plant during Richard's childhood.

We have monsters in every nation, but since he was Polish by origin, it is good you reminded us about him. Polish people have heroes and monsters....

I did not know who you talk about, now I know:

Richard Leonard "The Iceman" Kuklinski (April 11, 1935 – March 5, 2006) was an American serial killer who joined the mafia as a contract killer for financial support. The 6'4" (194 cm), 300 pound (135 kg) Kuklinski worked for Newark's DeCavalcante crime family and New York City's Five Families. He claimed to have murdered over 100,[2] or possibly 250 men (his recollections varied) between 1948 and 1986. Kuklinski claimed to have committed his first murder at the age of 13.[3] He lived with his wife and children in the suburb of Dumont, New Jersey prior to his arrest.[4]
